    Peregrina,

    You are right about the call it was, bad but seemed to have more upside than downside, and I love to try and make the call. Trust my judgement at your own risk, as that is what it is risk. Thanks for your comments, they dissappointed again. Have a good one.

    If you examine a 10 year history of MSC you will be left with but a single word, DISAPPOINTMENT. This Company has missed most of its targets, incurred accounting irregularities, and negative restatements of prior earnings. They have fumbled away many opportunities.

    The author of this article should dig deeper and forget his charts.

    LOL Peregina, that made me laugh!! But please try to be more constructive, as we are human and no one is perfect.

    Okay here's my take. With all due respect, the fundamentals look potentially promising, but only for risk-averse, long-term investors. The big concern I have right now are the miserable profit margins. Management will need to turn that around or else they won't do anything.

    As far as technicals, I can't see the "very bullish" pattern you mention. In fact, short-term, it has significant downside as it just broke through the 50 DMA.

    "They have missed on earnings for the last three quarters, but they beat earnings by 250% the first quarter of last year.." That should serve as an indicator. As far as last year in concerned, that was last year - a year that saw the Dow surpass 14,000, a year in which the real estate and banking fall out had just begun, a year when global inflation was not yet detected, etc.

    Be careful using generic chart patterns (double tops, etc.) as indicators. Ofetn they can do more harm than good. I personally don't pay attention to them. I look at basic charting elements. If you know how to read charts, you won't have a need to look to spot these generic patterns (preached by IBD to novices) to spot bull/bear trends.

    Son, is that egg all over your face? These opportunities to learn humility are precious. Be grateful, and hope that no one took your advice. Reply
